On its website, the church writes, "Thank God for 125 dead in Joplin."
They sure know how to piss people off, don't they? Who was it said they are actually a racket trying to make money off of the lawsuits against them? That sure seems like baiting to me.
Internet haters confronted with the objects of their hate.
Oh no, that is totally going to be a hit.
I hope no one from Joplin does anything that will get them in trouble. Some of those people don't have anything left to lose.
I'm not sure how you would find a jury that would convict them. Then again, I might have too much faith in people. If there are enough people like Eric Cantor...
The NYPD officers accused of rape were acquitted. [link]
Seriously? Those douchenozzles.
This is the story that I was following in Joplin about the missing toddler. He was ripped from his mother's arms during the tornado and they hadn't told the parents he was still missing because both of them were in the hospital. I found the conclusion to the story and it wasn't good. Sad, sad link. [link]
Can Phelps go fuck himself?
eta: And this before and after pic of Joplin is why Cantor can do the same. [link]
Why does the circle of life have to be so anvilicious?
Yeah, it just goes that way sometimes....
Oh Theresa, how heartbreaking!
2011 Valor Dog of the Year
The Humane Society of the United States named Yogi, a golden retriever, the 2011 Valor Dog of the Year for saving his owner’s life after a bicycle accident. Paul Horton of Austin, Texas, went over the handlebars on his mountain bike and landed on his head.
Horton was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he couldn’t move and was bleeding from the nose and mouth. Yogi was at his side.
For the next 45 minutes, Horton pleaded with the 85-pound dog to go home and get help. Yogi didn’t want to leave. Horton couldn’t yell, and he was out of sight of passers-by, about 100 feet from a dead-end street.
Finally, Yogi headed back to the main road, where Horton’s neighbors Bruce and Maggie Tate were walking. The normally mellow dog barked frantically. The Tates knew something was wrong and followed Yogi to Horton. There, Yogi stood protectively by his friend.
“It’s pretty amazing that Yogi first stayed with Paul when he needed to, then recognized us and came to get us,” Bruce Tate said. “Paul was in desperate shape. He wasn’t in a place where there’s a lot of traffic.”
Doctors found that Horton’s vertebrae had pinched his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed from the chest down. They credit Yogi with saving Horton’s life. Horton has since regained some sensation, and has limited use of his arms. And Yogi is still his best friend.
Aww.
Hey, do we have an onerous task day coming up? I need one.
